Yoo Hina asked with a worried expression. After a moment of contemplation, Seong Jichan replied.
“Well… I don’t know?”
In a word, I was kidnapped.
“Darn it. What is this?”
When I came to my senses, my entire body was tightly bound to a chair with ropes.
“This happened to Yoo Hina last time.”
At that time, I secretly laughed inside while watching Yoo Hina, but I didn’t know it would happen to me. I should stop laughing at others’ misfortunes.
With that lesson learned, I sighed.
“What on earth is this?”
Looking around, it was familiar. That abandoned building again. Again!
“Darn it, are these guys from Haeseong High School?”
Now that I think about it, among the people walking around, I saw some familiar faces. For example, Choi Yuhwan or someone like Choi Yuhwan!
“What, is he here too?”
The problem seemed more serious than I thought. If this guy is involved, it won’t be a small matter.
“What on earth happened?”
Certainly, I had anticipated that something might happen. Lately, the group of characters, including myself, has attracted attention more than once or twice.
However, I didn’t expect them to boldly kidnap someone, and especially not me!
“Hey, you crazy people, I’m just an extra!”
Why do I have to end up like this after possessing someone? There are many novels where extras, even after possessing, excel in dating the main characters.
Oh, but I don’t want to date Seong Jichan. It was horrifying to imagine. Come to think of it, maybe this situation is better…
“Are you awake?”
Someone had approached me without my notice. I raised my head.
It was Choi Yuhwan.
“You briefly lost consciousness earlier. It was really surprising.”
I’ve never fainted before possessing someone.
Why do I have to suffer like this? I felt like crying.
“Oh, world, why are you doing this to me…”
I sighed and opened my mouth.
“Excuse me, but can I ask you something?”
Choi Yuhwan smiled brightly in response.
“No.”
Ignoring him, I asked, “Why was I kidnapped?”
Choi Yuhwan hummed, seemingly lost in thought for a moment. The words that came out of him were unexpected.
“That’s an unexpectedly straightforward question.”
“Why?”
It’s only natural for someone to be curious about why they were kidnapped without knowing the reason.
“It’s too obvious.”
“What’s obvious?”
“Well…”
Choi Yuhwan shrugged.
“To lure the Three Lords.”
What did he say?
I openly frowned.
Ha, right. I expected it, but to think that’s the reason is unbelievable.
I’d rather hear that it’s retaliation for the kidnapping incident last time, the one I caused.
I expressed my frustration.
“Sorry, but as a hostage, I’m worthless. I mean nothing to them.”
If they were going to kidnap someone, they should have kidnapped Yoo Hina!
Leave a verified good hostage like her, and why kidnap an extra like me?
Choi Yuhwan looked puzzled.
“Why are you worthless?”
“Because those guys won’t come to save me.”
No, if it’s Banhamin, he might come. But right now, he’s on an overseas trip.
The rest, I honestly don’t know. Seong Jichan is in the hospital, and Seon Woojin would be relieved if I disappeared.
I lamented my unfairness.
At my words, Choi Yuhwan shrugged off the poison.
“We knew you wouldn’t know?”
“Know what?”
Choi Yuhwan said, “Over there, you’re Seong Jichan’s girlfriend.”
Without any thought, I mulled over the words Choi Yuhwan had spoken.
Girl… Seong Jichan’s girlfriend…
What?
“Me?”
I was shocked.
“Why would I be that crazy guy’s girlfriend!”
Then Choi Yuhwan said mockingly, “Did you fight with your boyfriend? He calls him a crazy guy. Or is it just a nickname?”
“No!”
I had no idea where to start correcting this misunderstanding.
“I’m not dating Seong Jichan!”
“Secretly dating, huh? Well, that’s possible.”
“I’m not dating him!”
“Yes, yes.”
Choi Yuhwan didn’t even listen to my words.
“No, this guy?”
Did he kidnap me because he thought I was Seong Jichan’s girlfriend?
Really?
“Why would I be that guy’s girlfriend?”
Did I do something to be misunderstood like this? It couldn’t be.
Then suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
〈But in the future, who knows what might happen? You could eventually date, right?〉
Yes, I’m sure I said that. To whom? To Hanyewon!
‘Ah, please.’
Please say it’s not true.
Come to think of it, I remembered encountering Hanyewon at school today. She saw me and was so surprised that she ran away.
‘Did Hanyewon say something like that?’
I wanted to deny it, but there was no other plausible source for such a ridiculous rumor.
‘This is insane!’
Aaaargh! I screamed inwardly.
If I had known that such a crazy snowball would roll my way, I would never have done that!
But it’s already too late. I’ve been kidnapped!
“I just want to die…”
Hearing my murmur, Choi Yuhwan said, “You can’t die yet. Wait until Seong Jichan comes.”
This guy is so cold…
When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
